WHO THEY ARE.


There has never been the slightest founda-
ton of truth for all this clamor that has
been raised about "pOlitics in the GAR"
insulting the President" "rekindling the
flames of sectional hate etc. 1t has been
falsehOod and Islander from first to last, and
none knew this better than the men who
were uttering it. No one connected with
the Order has made the least effort to give
it a partisan aspect, but the reverse Those
inside the Order have been resOlute in their
determination that it should not be pervert-
ed to the partisan purposes of any man or
set of men. 1t is positively childish to
scream out "politics," and insulting the
President" when body of men choose to
express their disapproval of that officials
public acts affecting themselves and those
connected with them. We might rs well
have Russian despotism, first as well as
last, if no one is to be allowed to criticize q
public officials acts.
We are told that there is something
awfully heinous in declining to pass under a
partisan banner fungacross the street. Some
rabid editors would make us believe that
this was something worse than any act of
treason in the rebel conspiracy to destroy the
NatiOn-worse even than starving prisoners
in AndersOnville This is also new idea to
free-bOrn Americans, and not pleasant one.
Everybody in Wheeling knew that the flag
was hung out in that particular place, and
with its particular inscription, as taunt to
the GAR. and defiance to them. The
man who hung it out had proclaimed his
intention by doing so to nag and irritate the
GAR. Why should any member of purely
non-partisan organization march under a
purely partisan banner insolently thrown
out over him? We should certainly ap-
prove of the comrades resenting having q
Blaine banner, or a Sherman banner, or a
Hill banner thrust in their faces when on
parade, and should expect that, without re-
spect to political affiliations, they should
show their disapproval of the act by refus-
ing to march under the flag.
The men who are making all this row are
men who hate the GAR. for one reason OIL
another, and try to force opportunities to
cast reproach upon it and iDjure it in the
estimation of the public They are made up
first, of men who did not go into the army
themselves, and are envious of the honors
paid those who did; second, of disgruntled
politicians who have been unable to use the
GAR. for their selfish purposes; third, Of
men who hate the cause for which the com,
rades fought; fourth, of men who are op-
posed to pensions, and who are eager tC
break the GAR. down in order to defeat
all further pension legislation. These last
are making the most noise now, for they
control most newspapers. Such papers a:
the New York Times, EreniRg Post, Boston
Herald, Philadelphia Times, Louisville C0a
rier-Iomndl feel that their only chance nov
of defeating the Dependent Pension Bill OIL
any legislation of that kind is to foment dis
sensions in the GAR, to SANDER and ma
lign its leaders and spokesman, and to mis-
represent its every act.

d DEGRADATION OF HIvDOO WOMEN.
Miss Swanson, lady who labored
for some years in the Zenanas of the
Punjaub, related her experience a
short time ago in DR.. Thain Davidson's
Presbyterian Church. in London. The
condition of Hindoo women was de-
scribed as one of great degradation. It
was disgrace to woman If she was
not married before she was IL. Among
the upper classes they had no occupa-
tion but such as was implied in braid
ing their hair, smoking, and counting
their jewelry. She had met women
who had been in one room for thirty
years. If they fell i'll, they were often
left alone to die. It was believed by
them that the highest happiness was to
be attained by being suffocated in the
mud of the Ganges, because by that
means the individual woman was trans
formed into COW. The lot of the wild
ows was so wretched that some of them
we're not thankful to the government for
the law which prevented them being
burned on the funeral pyre of their
husbands. Christianity, Miss Swain
son said, had done much for the Hindoo
woman; but much remained n be
done Boston TrGUeler.

Surprised Turks.

DR.. Washburne. President of the
American College at Constantipole,
brought with him from the nited
States one of Edison's monographs,
which he exhibited to a company of
Turks. He talked into the orifice and
the mach ne ground out of its vocal tin
foil long sentences in its squeaky way.
The amazement of the spectators
was kept out OF sight. They pretend
ed that it was no marvel to them at
ell, but when the phonograph spoke in
Turkish they could not contain them
selves any longer, and frankly admit
ted that they could not understand
how the machine had learned the Ian
guage SO quickly. since it had been in
Che country only two weeks. s. Goa

Interesting Facts Concerning the Manu-
facture of Tobacco.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Manu-
facture of Tobacco.
Very few users of the weed realize the
magnitude of the tobacco business. The
following figures will, We think, surprise
as well as interest many of our readers:
In 1886, according to the report of the
q. 8. Internal Revenue Department
there were 966 Tobacco factories in the
United States. These 965 factories man.
ufactured 191, 1,592,24O lbs. of Chewing
and Smoking Tobaccos and Snuffs, on
each pound of which tax of 8 cents
was paid to the q. 8. Government OF
this total the house of P. Lorillard &
90. alone manufactured the enormous
quantity of 27,S92,2sO los., about IA
thousand tons, or one seventh of what it
took 966 factories to make.
This tobacco was sold by 503, ,414
dealers, every one of whom, with SCARCE
ly an exception, sold more or less of
Lorillard's Climax Plug Tobacco, which
is the acknowledged standard for goods
OF this class.
The Lorillards began manufacturing
Tobacco as long ago as 1760 and have
for many years owned and operated the
largest factory in the scorld. In the last
81 years they have helped support the
United States Government to the extent
Of over S44, 700 90, paid into the United
States Treasury in Internal Revenue
taxes. is it to be wondered at that
there is so large surplus in the Treas
ury? The weekly payroll for Lori
lard'e factory amounts to $40, ,000.0 00-a
small fortune.
These figures go to show how much
of necessity to mankind tobacco has be-
come, and how the real merit of the
goods has made Lorillsrd's Tobaccos the
favored above all others and Climax,

One of the propositions made at the
recent convention of firemen at Atlanta
was the appointment in each county
OF a fire coroner, whose duty it shall be
to hold an inquest in every case of fire,
summon witnesses, and, if necessary,

one, and if properly carried out, would
do great deal to diminish not only in
